How will the NCAA adapt to this new era of NIL and athlete's rights? If you guessed "it will strenuously try to make it so it doesn't have to" congratulations!

You’re still dealing with teenaged kids who think they are god’s greatest gift to football and will transfer if you don’t give them what they want versus professional athletes on contracts.

Which is why Nick Saban led the Miami Dolphins to 6 super bowls.

Nick Saban nearly got his rear end literally kicked more than once when he coached the dolphins for pulling college coach crap.

Just because they're professionals doesn't make the job easier.

I know all of that, I’m just confused about why you think it’s a counter argument to my statement. I didn’t say being an NFL coach was easier. I said that dealing with professional players is different than dealing with college players and you provided…an example of why that’s true.

From your wording I thought referring to NFL players as professionals would exclude the ego stuff attributed to college kids. My bad.

I'm paying so little attention, I didn't even do my usual coinflips to fill out a bracket, did someone get Purdue Harbored? More importantly, was the team ranked #2 when they faced Purdue?

The highlights are worth it especially the game sealer 3 from FDU. Hilarious that it's mostly Purdue doing stuff but they never dominated.

Imagine being all excited to finally go away to college and experience things only to fly over/ drive through the vast flat corn fields of Ohio where you really shouldn't drink the water to the oasis of generic sprawl that is Columbus. Where you probably shouldn't drink the water either.

That's enough to suck a lifetime of joy from a person and replace it with bottomless misery looking for an outlet.

I mean Deion is bringing in like 12 4 star+ guys between transfers and freshman. 29 guys coming from the portal and the top ranked portal class. Dudes are extremely right to bail with around 50 new guys coming in this year.

Cause it’s a expensive and they’d be bad at it. Where are the conferences going to find a few collective billion to build a streaming platform?

Is that an actual question? It's an entertainment product with high level connections across all industries that doesn't have to pay the vast majority of its employees. It's a matter of effort

You realize that these are (relatively speaking) tiny organizations right? Alabama's athletic department only generates $200m in revenues per year. The SEC as a whole looks like it only generated ~$800m in revenues last year. All of college sports (basketball/football/etc) probably generates significantly less revenue than Netflix on a yearly basis.

So yes it's a great business to sell your content to others when you don't have to pay the players but individual schools and conferences have no where near the scale needed to create their own streaming platform.

The P5 did 6.5 billion in revenue in 2022. Granted it's not Netflix money but they have the resources to get a streaming platform off the ground. Of course, it would likely be overpriced to hell and back and fail anyway because gently caress consumers

Still loling the dude that paid 1.1 billion for streaming rights to wild card playoff game is helping drive the writers strike.

Elon managed to break Tweetdeck. Our athletic department plus tweetdeck was the only reason I was still on Twitter in the first place as my other columns have turned into ghost towns. Have any athletic departments moved to anything else? AFAIK, Tech only publishes on Twitter and Facebook.
